The tooth fairy also gives a dollar in quarters to my girls. I guess the reason she leaves quarters is because that is what fits in the tooth fairy "box" we use. I received the box and scroll that explains the legend of the tooth fairy as a gift at my baby shower for my first dd. This what the scroll says:

THE LEGEND OF THE TOOTH FAIRY

An old English custom dating back over 100 years. When a child loses a tooth, it is placed in its tiny keepsake box and left near their pillow. Whilst the child is asleep, the Tooth Fairy takes the tooth and leaves a coin in exchange, as a symbol of good luck,

But we don't leave it by their beds, we put it up where they can't reach it. Otherwise they will play with it and put it where the Tooth Fairy can't get to it!!!

The first tooth was $5 I beleive after we finally found the tooth. Joels tooth fell out when no one but him was looking and he lost it. But I cleaned his room and luckily we found it. Second tooth was $1 I beleive.

Joel only lost 2 teeth so far is that normal or should he have lost more already?

Wow. We're cheap too, I guess. We do $1 per tooth. My daughter says that it's different everytime....if there is a tooth that has a cavity that you loose, you don't get as much for it. haha. I asked her how much the tooth fairy gives you and that was her answer. She has only lost her two bottom teeth. She has had some a little bit loose since then, but nothing more than that. She even knocked two of them real loose but they grew back in or something because they aren't loose much anymore. hahaha.

Our Tooth Fairy does $2 per tooth in one dollar bills that have been folded up oragami style to look like a bow tie. We try really hard to save our new crisp $1 bills as they keep the folds better. With the first tooth he was REALLY excited the second tooth he forgot to put it under his pillow and wasn't expecting any money so the tooth fairy "could" have gotten out of that one. But that's ok, it was pretty funny how he lost that second tooth so for a good laugh the tooth fairy gave him money anyway.
